When a Parent Dies: What Happens to Child Support?

from Life, Law, & Lattes · host eLegal Cafe, LLC

This episode explains what happens to child support when the person paying it dies: the obligation becomes a debt of the estate, child support is high priority in probate, and creditors must file claims quickly (timelines vary by state). It also covers how Social Security survivor benefits can offset estate payments, options like life insurance or trusts to secure support, and the importance of having a court order and documentation to prove the claim.
